It all started with a sermon. In 1965, when Irvin Baxter, Jr. was only twenty years old, a visiting evangelist taught one evening regarding the four beasts of Revelation, chapter 4. He said that they were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John!

"I knew that wasn't right,"; relates Baxter. "He offered no evidence; no scripture. He just said it! It inspired me to find the truth. For the next 30 days, I read the book of Revelation nineteen times from front to back."

More than 25 years have passed since the spark was ignited in Irvin Baxter Jr. Since then, he has made several revolutionary discoveries in Bible prophecy. He has also become the editor of the most widely circulated prophecy magazine in the world, hosts the daily radio broadcast, Politics and Religion, and is the author of several prophecy books and Bible studies.

In 1968, Baxter predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall. He emphasized that this event would be the catalyst that would begin an international movement called the New World Order. Eighteen years later, in 1986, Baxter documented these teachings in his first book, A Message for the President, and he founded Endtime, a non-profit corporation. Three years later, in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, Germany was reunited, and we've heard continually about the New World Order ever since.

This monumental event sparked another project for Irvin Baxter, Jr. He launched Endtime magazine. Since its inaugural issue in 1991, it has become the most widely read prophecy magazine in the world, with an active readership exceeding 110,000.

Before committing himself to full-time work with Endtime Ministries, Irvin Baxter, Jr. served as pastor of the Oak Park Church in Richmond, Indiana for approximately 32 years.

In November of 2005, Endtime Ministries moved from Richmond, Indiana to Garland, Texas. This building served Endtime for a little more than two years, until the full time staff grew to around 30.

Endtime moved to its new location in Plano, TX in December of 2007. The current building is large enough to accommodate the numerous outreach vehicles that Endtime supports. In addition to Endtime Magazine and Politics and Religion, Endtime Ministries produces numerous Bible Study resources, hosts Endtime University, and sponsors prophecy conferences and Bible studies throughout the world.
